IBM quickly took issue with Google’s claim that it had achieved “quantum supremacy” , a term that refers to a point when a quantum computer can perform a calculation that a traditional computer can’t complete within its lifetime. Quantum bits,…

Such cells produce inflammatory and anti – inflammatory molecules; the trick is getting the mix just right. That’s very satisfying and exciting here is that we have the potential to explore new treatments for brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s…

A new video from AIST, Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, shows a prototype robot designed to work on construction sites in situations where there is a shortage of human workers. While large factory assembly lines are rapidly…

Late last year the ESA launched a robotic assistant known as “CIMON” (Crew Interactive Mobile Companion) to the ISS to help astronauts with a variety of tasks ranging from schedule keeping to basic maintenance. These tasks and completing chores so…

Princeton researchers have adapted silicon chip technology like that found in personal computers and mobile phones to act as a biosensors. The new technology allows the researchers to do away with this system by using tiny metal layers embedded in…

Artificial intelligence, or AI, has been dramatized in plenty of science fiction movies. We all have many social identities, and we might act in different ways depending on which one is activated. Not many people know exactly what the future…

The function of the brain is based on the connections between nerve cells. The brains of creative people are wired differently than most, finds a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. People hadn’t been thinking…

The study could also have implications for artificial intelligence because efficient autonomous robots will need to rely on robust, computationally inexpensive algorithms, and could benefit from employing insect-inspired scanning behaviours. Most of the time, the robots are shaped like a car so…
